Removable Wallpaper

Removable wallpaper is peel-and-stick wall covering that sticks without paste and comes off without ruining your walls. It grips properly while it's up, then lifts away cleanly when you want a change. No soaking. No scraping. Nothing nasty left behind.

Every removable wallpaper and wall mural we print at Giffywalls UK is made to your wall's exact measurements. That means neat edges, no awkward joins, and none of that leftover material you never quite know what to do with. Flat in Shoreditch, terrace in Bristol, student room in Edinburgh, whatever you're decorating, it arrives sized for that wall and no one else's.

How Removable Wallpaper Works

It's simpler than it sounds. The back of the wallpaper has a low-tack adhesive, which means it's sticky enough to hold but gentle enough to come off later. Peel the liner, press the panel to a clean dry wall, and smooth it out from the middle to the edges. If you get it slightly wonky on your first try, lift it and reposition. That's actually part of the appeal.

Peel and Stick Wallpaper for UK Homes

UK homes are rarely straightforward. Cotswold cottages slope, Glasgow tenements stretch upwards, and new-builds in Milton Keynes have those shallow alcoves you never know how to fill. Our peel and stick wallpaper is cut to your specific measurements, so chimney breasts, stairwells and oddly shaped corners actually get covered properly, not guessed at.

Temporary Wallpaper for Rentals and Events

Renting comes with rules. No drilling. Nothing that'll cost you your deposit. Temporary wallpaper gets round all of that. You can give a flat in Clapham some personality, make a shared house in Cardiff feel less beige, and still hand it back in perfect condition.

It's also a favourite for pop-ups, wedding backdrops, trade stands in Birmingham, and kids wallpaper in nurseries. Because let's be honest, a toddler's favourite design won't be their favourite in eighteen months.

Self-Adhesive Wall Murals Made to Measure

Want something with a bit more drama? Our self-adhesive wall murals come in florals, landscapes, abstract prints, maps, city skylines and children's designs. All of them get printed to your measurements in square metres, never fixed sizes.

A London skyline mural behind a home desk works surprisingly well on video calls. A nature-inspired design in the bedroom softens the whole room. A jungle wallpaper scene in a nursery? Kids love it, and so do the grandparents when they visit.

Is Removable Wallpaper Reusable?

Yes, within reason. If you take it down carefully, good-quality removable wallpaper can often be repositioned or moved to another wall. It's not indestructible, but most of our customers get years out of a single install, and it still comes off cleanly when they finally fancy a change.

If none of these designs quite hit the mark, browse our full wallpaper collection or have a look at custom wall murals. Useful if you've got a specific photo or idea in mind. Measure up, pick your design, and the rest is just peel, smooth, done.

How does peel and stick wallpaper work?

Think of it as a giant sticker designed for walls. The backing has a low-tack adhesive that grips firmly but releases cleanly. Peel off the liner, press the panel to a clean dry surface, and smooth it out from the middle to the edges. If it goes on slightly crooked, lift it and try again. It's forgiving like that.

Does removable wallpaper damage walls?

Not when it's put up properly. If the wall is clean, dry and in good condition, peel-and-stick wall coverings come off without peeling paint or pulling plaster. The usual culprits behind damage are freshly painted walls (paint needs to cure first) or walls with existing flaky areas. Worth checking before you start.

How long does peel and stick wallpaper last?

On an interior wall in normal home conditions, this wallpaper lasts five to ten years or longer without lifting, fading, or yellowing. Lifespan depends on wall preparation, sunlight exposure, and humidity. Well-primed walls in stable rooms hold the adhesive longest.

Can you reuse removable wallpaper?

Sometimes, yes. If you peel it down slowly and keep the adhesive backing intact, you can often reposition it or even move it to another wall. It's not guaranteed, and a lot depends on how careful you are on removal, but it's absolutely doable.

Is peel and stick wallpaper suitable for rented homes?

Yes. Peel and stick is one of the most popular wall finishes for renters because it applies without nails, paste, or permanent adhesive and can be removed cleanly when moving out. Always check your rental agreement and test a small corner first.

Can self-adhesive wallpaper be used in kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes, with a bit of common sense. It handles normal kitchen and bathroom humidity fine, so feature walls and accent areas are no problem. What it won't love is direct water contact, so keep it away from shower splash zones and right behind the sink.

How do you install peel-and-stick wallpaper?

Start with a clean wall and cut your panels to size. Peel back a few inches of the liner at the top, line up the panel, and press it into place. Then slowly peel more of the liner as you smooth downwards with a soft cloth or plastic smoother, pushing air bubbles out as you go. Match each panel edge-to-edge and carry on.

How do you remove peel-and-stick wallpaper without damaging walls?

Start at a top corner and pull down slowly, keeping the panel close to the wall as you peel. Steep angles are where things tear. Take your time rather than ripping it off. If there's any residue left behind, a damp cloth usually sorts it.

Removable wallpaper vs traditional wallpaper, what is the difference?

Traditional wallpaper uses wet paste and takes a while to hang. At removal, you have to soak and scrape it off, which can pull paint with it. Removable wallpaper uses a peel-off back instead. It goes up dry. You can pull it off in minutes when the mood changes.

Can you paint over removable wallpaper?

We don’t recommend it. The surface isn’t designed to hold paint evenly. Painting over the panels also makes the mural much harder to peel off later. Take the wallpaper down first, then paint the bare wall.
